Security in SAP Fiori

In business, data has enormous value. We are aware of the importance of cyber security for our clients. SAP Fiori security effectively protects against unauthorized access to information about the company’s processes, thanks to single sign-on, role-based authentucatuib, and OData (Open Data Protocol).

You can apply three levels of SAP Fiori security protection:

• Authentication only – this is the lowest level of protection, authenticating only during identity verification;
• Integrity protection – protection level that detects all changes in data;
• Privacy protection – this is the maximum level of protection that prevents data theft by encrypting it.

SAP Fiori Launchpad

Fiori is focused on user support and adapts to your needs. SAP Fiori users are divided into three categories, to which the Fiori launchpad has been adapted, providing them with quick access to the necessary functions:

• end-user – Fiori launchpad gives you access to easy-to-navigate tiles, shortcuts, and searches for the necessary data. The home page can be designed according to the user’s needs, providing them with only the information they need to work.
• administrators – through target mapping, administrators can configure SAP Fiori Launchpad.
• developers – Fiori Launchpad includes support for ABAP programmers in the form of, for example, ready-made views that can be used for quick application implementation and development.

Fiori launchpad is accessed from the SAP Fiori Cloud, like other SAP Fiori resources.
